Golf at Prospect!

3/8/2024 10:01 pm

Elementary Golf School is offering an exciting junior golf program at Prospect School, designed to expose golf to juniors of all ability levels. This program is created and taught by PGA Professionals, to include lesson plans that are fun, safe, and educational. Kids will be given the opportunity to experiment with playing a variety of different shots.

Our program teaches basic fundamentals, with plenty of variation for practicing and playing. We will not only teach the shots but also the etiquette, behavior, and finer points of the rules of the game. Our instructors will be able to adjust the level of complexity to each child’s individual level of progress.
For more information, or to register for the after-school golf program at Prospect School, please visit www.elementarygolfschool.com or call (630) 853-6348.

Spring Cleaning? PE Would Love These Items!

3/8/2024 9:45 pm

Our amazing PE teachers use puzzles, board games, scooters, and beanie babies for some unique and enriching curriculum. If you are doing any cleaning and willing to donate please drop off in the gym or send to school with your student.

On the wish list are: balance and gross motor type equipment, large piece puzzles, beanie babies, silicone bracelets, and remote controlled cars.

If you have anything else and are not sure if they can be used please email them at lduffy@d181.org or kconway@d181.org and check.

Here are a few photos of a juggling/puzzle race, which incorporated teamwork, visual tracking, STEM, and cardiovascular fitness!
